Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

Got some 51mm Formula 4 tablets 99a. And a Tactics 8.5 deck. I’m actually pretty stoked on the graphic. Hoping I can get a little more slide than the conicals I’ve been riding forever now.

I've had the conical full Jamie Foy's forever, I also got a hold of the first lockins asymmetric wheels pretty siked on them. I find Spitfire makes exceptional wheels I don't like slim wheels or the radials ie the donut looking wheels. I like a nice wide squarish wheel.

I tried Bones and all their different shapes and stuff they felt too much like cheap Wal-Mart wheels, I ended up either trading them away or giving them to a homie.

I used to skate slimmer harder wheels back in the day. But now I want something that’s not so grippy and not so slippery. I feel like a slimmer F4 could be a good in between. I got so many free pairs of bones back in the day. They used to have contests on MySpace like name this person who did this trick and win free bones.

I think me and you were in competition as I use to do those same name something contests as well via facebook/myspace, I won a few sets of the multi colored wheels 100's.

The thing I have noticed with a wider riding surface is weight distribution, on smooth concrete like butter now softer wheels on rough pea gravel same feeling. I've been known to be picky where I will ride my board albeit if I have no shields no ditches or places where dirt or water can get in.

I've got a few boards for whatever spots, I like being picky and where I ride so I don't fuck my shit up.

Thats actually what I’m planning on doing. I still have indys and these 54mm conicals that are still good. I was planning on putting in some time learning transition now that the weather has changed here so I’m gonna put those on a different setup.

Something I learned the other day with transition is not so much pop is just confidence and shifting weight around before your board gets on to the lip.  Or at least that's my opinion on miniramp....

I go to take a piss in the woods right and I ground scored a waterlogged Sony CD player

Met a super rad chick this weekend, hungout last night and then again today for a while.  Super cute, super smart, into cool shit. 
She disclosed that she has HSV-1 (oral herpes) and I am really not sure what to do.  I am one of those people who are way overly sensitive about contracted an STD and being overly careful.  I don't really want to pass her by because shes awesome and it's just a skin infection, but I also don't want to risk getting herpes.

Do some research and realise it's an incredibly stupid reason not to pursue a relationship with someone.

Found a pretty steep crusty little ditch/bank thing. I want to halfcab down into it but it runs right into a street and I cant see very far from the trees. Also at 8:30am yesterday it was super busy with people going to work so maybe Ill go mid day or with a friend can spot me.

Yep, we've hungout a bunch since then.  It is a really stupid reason not to like someone.  Its a bummer that people are treated differently because of it, I wasn't shook I just wanted to be careful and she laid it out.  I feel stupid now.

Yes! Yes!

Got my first short story accepted for publication back in August and the magazine just came out at the beginning of the month. After a couple of days of anxiety I finally took a look at the online pdf. First thing I see is the publisher had misspelled my name. I’m grateful to have been put in the magazine, but it’s still a little disappointing. What can you do, though? Maybe it’s just a sign I need a pseudonym.

Today is my first day back to work in 10 days. Vacation was tight but too fucking expensive, so it's nice to be back to the grind just a harsh transition

Stoked that my cousin won a lawsuit. She was working at a summer camp in California when she published a political opinion piece online which got her fired from the camp(and she spoke with multiple lawyers before publishing the piece). She sued, alleging the camp violated California labor laws 1101 and 1102, which specifically prohibits employers from discriminating against employees for voicing their political opinions outside of work. She got a large settlement.

What I'm not stoked on is that her views are horrible, racist and disgusting. My family has pretty much disowned her ever since she became public with her views.

Which brings me to another point: Why is there no push to LEGALLY ban far-right/racist views from being articulated in public? It seems like the antifa only tries to attack/harass nazis, but they totally ignore the law. They don't even try to change laws that cleary protect Nazis from voicing their opinions. I'm usually for free speech, but I think the law should really clamp down on these types of obscene views being propagated in public.

After the legal fees etc was the battle worth the win and taking it to court? Im always curious if the juice if worth the squeeze in those situations because i  bet alot of people just take it on the chin cause its not worth the time and money to seek justice

^She's a fighter with a real chip on her shoulder. Plus she got external litigation funding from a handful of investors. I think she used Lexshares, but I'm not sure.

Her lawyers said if she was employed by a Jewish daycare, and called for genocide against jews outside of work, that daycare wouldn't legally be able to fire her, because that's political retaliation. Un-fucking-believable.

I'm blown away that California has these laws:

CA Labor Code 1101
No employer shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy:
(a) Forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or from becoming candidates for public office.
(b) Controlling or directing, or tending to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of employees.

CA Labor Code 1102
No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.

Was supposed to meet my buddy to go skate today, he lives out of the city and it's supposedly the last warm day of the year.

I called him a few hours ago but didn't hear from him. So I went skating and got a clip I'm psyched on and ran some errands. As I was about to leave and come home to start work, he called and asked if I was still down. But I needed to get to work and said I couldn't.

I just feel bad because I wanted to see him but it took too long for him to get back to me and I've got stuff to do. He's also supposed to move soon.

I know this is a little thing, but still.

they're problematic period. if you think it's going to benefit you now, guaranteed it will be used against you [or people/a cause you care about] down the road. america has freedom of speech, it's more important than feelings.
